I feel for you, but I advise a tourniquet applied to the neck for about 5 minutes might be preferable to a doctor's visit.

I had a minor infection (blocked hair follicle!) turn into a major infection requiring a visit to the emergency room this past Memorial Day. Out comes the injection of lidocaine, a scalpel, and the induction of a great deal slicing, poking, prodding, digging, twisting and various other means of inflicting pain, with no results. Peel me off the ceiling, and follow with injections, and an Rx for an antibiotic. Double up on benadryl to keep the antibiotic induced itching down to a dull roar. Awaken yesterday (11 days later) and I'm solid rash from head to toe. Call doctor, ohmygod you're allergic to sulfa, ingest massive doses of steriods, side effects be damned.

But I guess it could be worse... I could have the flu! <g>
